feat: Add comprehensive time resampling support with targetTimeScale

🕒 MAJOR FEATURE: Complete time period standardization for consistent reporting

## 🆕 New Features

### Time Resampling Pipeline Integration
- ✅ Added targetTimeScale support to pipeline configuration
- ✅ Automatic time period conversion (hour/day/week/month/quarter/year)
- ✅ Enhanced wages processing with configurable time scales
- ✅ Accurate conversion factors for all time periods

### Pipeline Enhancements
- ✅ Enhanced enhancedNormalizeDataService with time resampling
- ✅ Updated createWagesPipelineConfig to accept targetTimeScale
- ✅ Improved processWagesIndicator with time scale options
- ✅ Integrated with existing processBatch time conversion

### Comprehensive Testing
- ✅ Added pipeline time resampling tests
- ✅ Added API time resampling tests with multiple time periods
- ✅ Verified conversion accuracy (quarterly→monthly, annual→monthly, etc.)
- ✅ All 199 tests passing with new functionality

## 🔧 Technical Implementation

### Conversion Factors
- **Weekly → Monthly**: ×4.33 (52 weeks ÷ 12 months)
- **Quarterly → Monthly**: ÷3 (3 months per quarter)
- **Annual → Monthly**: ÷12 (12 months per year)
- **Daily → Monthly**: ×30.44 (365.25 days ÷ 12 months)
- **Hourly → Monthly**: ×173.33 (2080 work hours ÷ 12 months)

### Enhanced Configuration
- Updated PipelineConfig interface with targetTimeScale
- Enhanced wages processing options with time scale support
- Improved createWagesPipelineConfig with time scale parameter
- Seamless integration with existing FX and magnitude conversion

## 📚 Documentation & Examples

### Updated Documentation
- **README**: Added comprehensive time resampling section
- **Examples**: Created time_resampling_example.ts with real-world usage
- **Types**: Updated interface documentation
- **Usage Patterns**: Clear examples for mixed time period data

### Example Usage
```typescript
// Configure econify pipeline - set monthly reporting
const options = {
  targetCurrency: 'USD',
  targetMagnitude: 'millions',
  targetTimeScale: 'month', // 🆕 Standardize all data to monthly
  minQualityScore: 30,
  inferUnits: true,
};
```

## 🎯 Production Benefits

### Consistent Reporting
- ✅ Standardize mixed time periods to monthly for consistency
- ✅ Accurate cross-period comparisons
- ✅ Automatic detection and conversion
- ✅ Works with wages, revenue, expenses, production data

### Application Integration
- ✅ Simple configuration option (targetTimeScale: 'month')
- ✅ Backward compatible (optional parameter)
- ✅ Robust error handling for unsupported conversions
- ✅ Clear warnings for conversion issues

This enhancement enables consistent monthly reporting across all economic indicators,
making cross-period analysis and comparison much more reliable and accurate.

+### Time Resampling & Standardization
+
+Econify automatically handles time period conversion to ensure consistent reporting:
+
+```ts
+// Mixed time periods in your data
+const mixedTimeData = [
+  { value: 300, unit: "Million USD per Quarter", name: "Quarterly Sales" },
+  { value: 1200, unit: "Million USD per Year", name: "Annual Revenue" },
+  { value: 50, unit: "Million USD per Week", name: "Weekly Production" },
+];
+
+// Standardize everything to monthly reporting
+const result = await processEconomicData(mixedTimeData, {
+  targetCurrency: "USD",
+  targetTimeScale: "month", // Convert all to monthly
+  fxFallback: { base: "USD", rates: {} },
+});
+
+// Results: All data now in consistent monthly format
+result.data.forEach(item => {
+  console.log(`${item.name}: ${item.normalized} ${item.normalizedUnit}`);
+});
+// Quarterly Sales: 100 USD millions/month (was 300/quarter)
+// Annual Revenue: 100 USD millions/month (was 1200/year)
+// Weekly Production: 217 USD millions/month (was 50/week)
+```
+
+#### Supported Time Scales
+
+- **`hour`** - Hourly data
+- **`day`** - Daily data
+- **`week`** - Weekly data
+- **`month`** - Monthly data (recommended for consistency)
+- **`quarter`** - Quarterly data
+- **`year`** - Annual data
+
+#### Automatic Conversion
+
+Econify uses accurate conversion factors:
+- **Weekly → Monthly**: ×4.33 (52 weeks ÷ 12 months)
+- **Quarterly → Monthly**: ÷3 (3 months per quarter)
+- **Annual → Monthly**: ÷12 (12 months per year)
+- **Hourly → Monthly**: ×173.33 (2080 work hours ÷ 12 months)
